BOD & COD Applications

Keeping the water in our lakes, rivers, and streams clean requires monitoring of water quality at many points as it gradually makes its way from its source to our oceans. Over the years ever increasing environmental concerns and regulations have heightened the need for increased diligence and tighter restrictions on wastewater quality. Control of water pollution was once concerned mainly with treating wastewater before it was discharged from a manufacturing facility into the nation`s waterways. Today, in many...

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is one of the most common integral indicators of anthropogenic pollution of water bodies. COD is widely used in the analysis of natural water, to control wastewater treatment from organic various substances.

Whether you are a researcher or an operator working with wastewater treatment processes, it is crucial to have access to highly accurate and precise data to get insight into the wastewater treatment processes.

Waste water, especially industrial waste water, is the most challenging water for instrumentation. Mostly, this water is characterized by highly fluctuating loads, very high salt concentrations as well as a high particle density. Hence, the accurancy and speed of measurements depends on the measurement system itself and the oxidation technique used. Obviously, application-specific analyzers provide huge advantages against standard analyzers that are used for all applications.

The brewing process generally generates unique, high-strength waste water as a by-product. The waste water typically has a high concentration of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) form the carbohydrates and protein used in brewing beer. Brewery waste water usually has a temperature of > 25 °C.

MANTECH’s innovative PeCOD Analyzer is helping Ontario’s craft brewers manage their wastewater more effectively. PeCOD is an integral part of the Brü Clean System, a specialized wastewater treatment process developed by Econse Water Purification Systems for the craft brewing industry. Together they helped reduce the amount of wastewater for treatment by 75 per cent. “We can accomplish in a few minutes what other companies take weeks or months to do and this lets us move straight to...

Ozone provides both economical and ecological advantages to the Aquaculture industry. Ozone oxidation of aqua-farms improve water quality, destroys organics, and increases DO levels which result in faster growth rates, decreased death tolls, and provides an overall healthier and safe environment for fish.
